A wonderful tribute!

We danced to a lovely programme of Betty’s favourite dances along with a selection from past Annual Dance programmes which she MC’d.

All to toe-tapping music from Peter Elmes, Don McKay, Hilary Ferral and Aileen Logie.

John Gregory treated us to a fine rendition of Robert Burns’ Address to a Haggis.

Watch some of the fun and laughter on this video from Pat Reesby of Crockett’s Victory Garden.
